Golden Gate Central Station Amsterdam

Golden Gate.
The station is the station so we think. We never ask what lies behind the beautiful building of Central Station? if you look further on the platform adjacent track 2B.
The royal crown above the doors treason really something.

It is royal waiting room where the royal family used to arrive by train - comfortable and luxury - could wait.
Even those majestic doors separating the waiting room of the platform, are worth to look at it closely. They may look like gold, but the ornate, decorative gate is made of gilded wrought iron. Because this the waiting room should be most important in the country, decorated architect Cuypers him more lavishly than the rest of the station and placed thereby links between railways and the royal house.
